01 — Local economy

Business in Halifax

Maritime Forces Atlantic, the navy's east-coast base, and Irving Shipbuilding's Halifax Shipyard, which builds warships for the Royal Canadian Navy, make defence a core employer. The ice-free Port of Halifax handles containers for Atlantic trade, seafood exporters such as Clearwater ship lobster and scallops worldwide, and Dalhousie University and the COVE ocean-technology centre support a marine-tech sector.

Where software helps: Halifax seafood exporters must hit live-shipment windows, keep catch and lot traceability for buyers in Asia and Europe, and manage currency swings and HST across export and domestic sales.

05 — FAQ

Custom software in Halifax: common questions

Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Halifax?

Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Halifax; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.

How do time zones work between Halifax and Jaipur?

Jaipur is 9 h 30 min ahead of Halifax on standard time, and 8 h 30 min ahead during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 18:30 in Jaipur. Standard 09:00–18:00 office days overlap by up to 30 min, which is enough for live calls, demos and same-day answers.

Can a custom ERP handle Nova Scotia sales tax?

Yes. Invoicing handles Nova Scotia sales tax (HST 14% (reduced from 15% on 1 Apr 2025)) alongside federal GST. A custom ERP produces compliant invoices and tax reports, and we keep the rules updated as they change.

What would a first project look like for a aerospace business?

Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For aerospace & defence supply chain that is often serial & batch traceability and certificates of conformity. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
